What’s in Season This Spring?
Spring is a time of renewal—not just for nature, but for our plates. As temperatures rise and daylight stretches longer into the evenings, local farms across Davidson County begin to harvest some of the freshest, most flavorful produce of the year.
From early fruits to crisp greens, seasonal eating in spring offers a colorful variety of ingredients that are harvested at their peak—meaning better taste, better nutrition, and stronger support for local growers.
Here’s what’s in season right now in the Piedmont region:
Strawberries – One of spring’s earliest and most beloved crops. These berries are juicy, sweet, and ideal for everything from snacking and salads to desserts and homemade jams.
Leafy Greens – Spinach, lettuce, arugula, and more are thriving in the springtime. These greens are packed with nutrients and perfect for refreshing salads, sautés, and smoothies.
Why Choose Seasonal Produce?
Eating seasonally means enjoying food at its freshest and most flavorful. It also helps reduce your environmental impact by minimizing long-distance transport and refrigeration, while keeping your dollars circulating within the local economy. Most importantly, seasonal eating keeps you in tune with the natural rhythm of the region—connecting you to the farmers and land that sustain our communities.
